Academic Requirements - Transfer

All admission decisions are based on an assessment of the academic foundation needed for success in the required courses at the bachelor's degree level. In general, students who are accepted have a B average or higher. Consideration is given for demonstrating improved academic performance over time. Our goal is to ensure that each student has the capacity to succeed in college-level work and the unique Champlain curriculum. Each application is given a full-review, and individual circumstances can be discussed with the Transfer Admissions Counselor.
